Besides natural rubber, Ebonite contains about 25–80% sulfur and linseed oil. Its name comes from its intended use as an artificial substitute for ebony wood.The material is known generically as hard rubber and has formerly been called vulcanite, although that name now refers to the mineral vulcanite.
When an ebonite rod is rubbed with woolen cloth the rod gets negatively chargedbecause the friction between the fur and the rod makes the ebonite rod to gain electron from the fur. This is because, electrons in fur are less tightly bound than the electrons in theebonite rod .
